washington's focus so far has been on raising taxes and cutting spending. it should really be on reforming and investing in the american economy. historically when the american government or the world bank or the imf advised countries that got into trouble, they usually stress that achieving fiscal stability, austerity was only a part of the solution. the key to reviving growth is structural reform to make the economy more competitive, as well as crucial investments in human and physical capital to ensure the next generation of growth. yet, we have not followed our own prescriptions. the united states has plenty of areas where it could become much more competitive. it has a huge and corrupt tax code that clocks in at 73,000 pages, including regulations. it has vast areas of the economy like agriculture that receive destroying subsidies for no national purpose. if the case for reform is important, the case for investment is urgent. the big shift in the american economy over the last 30 years has been a decline in the quality of physical and human capital. ta
